About: I’ve had experience taking care of animals since I was young! I often do pet care for my friends, family and coworkers as well as volunteer for local adoption agencies. I am capable of handling pets of all shapes, sizes and ages as I’ve come across them all with my experiences. I’m also equipped to handle pets with special needs. I am also certified in CPR & First Aid for Dogs & Cats, so you can trust that your family is safe in my hands. I am in school M-F, 9AM-1PM however I have plenty of early morning availability and afternoon and evenings. I try to accommodate for the needs of all pets & their parents. This allows me to spend quality time and give pets the proper care they need. With that being said, I highly encourage booking with me as I have time for Meet & Greets as well! During our M&G, we will develop a care plan for your fur babies for the service you booked me for. *At this time, pick-up/drop-off available for clients within a 10-15 mile radius of Griswold, CT* I focus entirely on providing structured, attentive care right in the comfort of your pet's own home. Whether it's an energetic dog walk, a midday drop-in visit, or dedicated house-sitting, my priority is keeping their exact routines consistent and stress-free. I treat your home with total respect and will send you regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind.
About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet
“Sydney was amazing. Every drop in she was on time and never late. This was my first time using rover but I will absolutely be using it again. My dogs are my everything and Sydney took care of them like her own. Would recommend Sydney to anyone!”
About: There’s always been a dog in my house ever since I was born. Sparky, Bobo, Patrick, and now my Delilah. I’m a big fan of every kind of dog and love meeting new ones! I’m usually home all day, helping my mother take care of my grandmother. I have plenty of time to pop out and drop in on your dog! I’m capable of letting your dog out, either in a fenced yard or on a leash. As well as feed and make sure their water bowl is full!
“Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.

About: Hi and thanks for visiting my profile! I've had dogs around me since I was a small child. My own dog, Nemo is 11 years old shitzu and I've had him since he was 6 weeks old so I know how important and loved dogs are to their parents. I will ensure your dog walking and sitting experience starts and ends with lots of fresh water and hugs. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby to ensure I am the BEST fit for both of you. It is so important that your dog trusts me to provide him/her with a positive and upbeat experience each and every time. Feel free to reach out to me about additional services such as meal preparation, and administering medication. Thanks again for visiting my profile!

I give every animal the attention they deserve and I treat each animal as if they were my own. I am trustworthy, kind, punctual, and dedicated to the welfare of all animals in my care. I do house sitting, dog walking, in home care, and boarding. I can care for animals that need medications. I have experience working with puppies and house training. I take the care of animals very seriously and will do everything I can to make them comfortable while you are away from them. I will be their friend when your away and their home away from home. I am currently unemployed and a stay at home dad for my daughter and son. My daughter is in school. Both of them love animals. I have open availability to take care of your fur babies. I make sure the pets are happy and healthy and give them lots of attention and love as if they were my own. I love to play with animals.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.
About: I've been the owner a wonderful energetic, and curious Jack Russell for 8 wonderful years. Gus, and I have traveled all around North America and internationally to Europe and Mexico. think I make a good candidate because I have a great attitude, and truly want to make the experience great for both client and canine. It'd be my pleasure to care for your loved one today. Thanks! I'm currently only working part time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Let's chat and schedule something today friends! It's all about respect of personal space. It's about understanding the dynamic of the dog and owner and treating them how you would want your pup treated.
About: I've taken care of dogs and many other animals, reptiles, etc since I was a young teen for neighbors, family and friends. I gratefully house sit and tend to pets needs of any age and size. I am available for check-ins, house sitting and walking. I have a pretty open schedule with some responsibilities to tend to on Thursday night and Sunday morning. Besides that I can work around you. I have a very energetic pup at home who gets lots of play time, training and walks. While pet/house sitting I make sure each pet gets everything they need including medications and check ins with owners to let them know how their furry animals are doing. I always enjoy playing with animals ensuring they are comfortable and having fun. Messes can happen so I ensure I leave it cleaner than what I found.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.
About: I have been house sitting and taking care of family/friends pets for over a decade. I have always felt a special connection with animals and hope I get to take care of all types of furry friends! I do have a full time job M-F but am able to work around it with notice. Please feel free to let me know exactly what you are looking for! My fiancé and I have a dog who loves to snuggle and play (and has no concept of personal space LOL) I am always catering to what he is in the mood for, and I would do the same for yours! Whether your dog has the energy for a walk, or just wants to hang on the couch, I am there to make sure they are happy and comfortable, with all the care and love they need!

Tirzah was absolutely fantastic with Chorizo! From the initial meet and greet all the way through the scheduled drop-in, their communication was excellent — always prompt, clear, and reassuring. I could tell Chorizo was in great hands. I appreciated the update and photos, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norwich stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Norwich choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Norwich with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
